It's not him... It's me. Fail!

Ok so I told you guys I would update ya on how last night went...
if you need to get caught up you can start here and here.
So it went like this...
I blogged he slept...
I laid down...
got lonely...
Hubs wouldn't wake up to snuggle with me.  & yes just snuggle...
I lay there trying to sleep...
I watch tv...
I lay there some more...
getting lonelier & lonelier...
I get up just to check on the little guy...
He laid there so peacefully...
I stare for awhile...
then...
I caved & had to get him...
see that he was doing it & I RUINED IT!!
I FAILED HIM--he was doing so good & I couldn't handle it...
so Maddux made it about a hour an a half in his own bed! GO MADDUX!! :)
Momma will work on this... maybe it's not Maddux after all...
Maybe its me. Boo.
Waaahhhhh.  (can't wait for Jersey Shore to come back on :) I'm obsessed!--Thanks Hubby!!)

Is tonight the night??

Ok... so this goes with the post about Maddux not sleeping in his crib at night but doing great with naps... you can find that here... I got a couple great comments & I really thought about how tonight was going to go.  Well bedtime for the Hubs came & I needed to shower so he took Maddux & laid down in our bed to try and get him to go to sleep well... Maddux had other plans (normally I'm the one to lay down with him) he cried the whole time I was in the shower so when I got out I decided since I wasn't tired I would go rock him in his room then lay him down once he fell asleep well this worked great until of course I layed him down & 5 minutes later (if that) his paci fell out so in I go I did this back and fourth for prolly 10 more minutes until I decided to give up tonight and just bring him in my bed even though I wasn't tired I wanted him to go to sleep so that's what we did & like always he fell right to sleep! After he slept for about 30-40 minutes I was still wide awake playing on my phone I decided to try to move him to his bed & that my friends is where the boy is at now... In his bed-- I hate to jinx myself but I'm hoping that tonight will be the night! (even though I currently hear him moving--his monitor is amazing you can hear him suck on his paci it's crazy clear) Well I'll update tomorrow on how tonight went.. He's been in his bed for about 5 minutes!! :)

**this picture is NOT from tonight he is not swaddled but he is laying in his boppy...

Over It!—Co sleeping.

 

ok so… It’s not that I mind co-sleeping because I really don’t I have a “it is what it is” attitude but now it’s getting frustrating not necessarily him sleeping in my bed but here’s the situation…

Naps are going extremely well in his crib! He takes a short nap in the morning about 1 hr. and then an awesome nap in the afternoon 2-4 hrs. I can lay him down a lot of the time and he doesn’t make a peep and goes right to sleep. 

Bedtime is a different story… He will cry and cry and cry… It’s bad! I hate to let him cry so I try to console him I try rocking him then laying him down nothing works… He wakes up after 5 minutes or so… I still try every night but I’m really struggling with it it gets so frustrating! I’m not doing anything different from his naps… I’m not sure what to do anymore other than make him cry it out one night & I don’t think I can do that!…

I have thought about taking away his pacifier because it seems like that is causing problems at night & at some naps its like as soon as it falls out of his he wakes up and screams… just anymore advice would be great.  Please no that I’m not against co-sleeping because like I said it’s not that I don’t like it… nothing is better than waking up with Maddux next to me but I know he can do this so I want to do it.
